SYMPTOMS

 

     Most people think that Lyme is just flu symptoms along with a headache and a bullseye rash. Lyme is so much more. Below, you will find the most comprehensive list. Please know that a patient will not have all these symptoms. Only 15% of patients, in a Yale study, ever remember a tick bite. Less than 50% of patients ever see a rash and it isn't always a bullseye rash. Lyme patients may have pain that comes and goes and migrates around their body. A week later, they may have digestive issues. Every patient is different. It depends how long they have been infected and what coinfections they may have. One patient only had frequent headaches and frequent upset stomach. When the young teenager started having her anxiety increase, she was tested and was CDC positive.
